Best place/person to get sprint car photos from Hickory(PA) Speedway?

[michael myers]

Jim Balentine was a long time photographer at the track. I would start there.

Jim Balentine (look him up on facebook), and or Tommy Heim Not sure how to find him, I think he was from the Knox area but that I am not certain of.

[Walt Wimer]

Tommy Hein lives in Butler and Jimmy Balentine in the Youngstown area.  Either one should be able to help you!

Checking for photos of the Ron Houk # 3 sprint car.  It is a Trevis Craft big block and had a yellow frame with a black body.  He had other cars but am just interested in this one.  And yes, those were good days at Hickory.

Thank you very much.    That is exactly the one.    And thank you for all the stats you have published in the past.

Was that the car that was on the sign post just north of Challenger on RT286? If it is I may know who has it now.

No.  I think that was a Jack Sodeman Trevis.  I met the current owner at Port Royal last year.

The reference to big block was the design of the chassis and not what was run in the car.

Here's the address so you can pick your own virtual map site:

 

2149 Harlansburg Rd., New Castle, PA 16101

 

It appears the grounds are earning an income as a road salt terminal nowadays.
